Mr. Nick Saban Went to Capitol Hill and Complained About College Players Getting Paid for Several Hours.
While speaking to the panel, Saban complained about how the current NIL system has changed college football for the worse.
“Well, all the things I believed in for all these years of coaching, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics,”
“It’s whoever wants to pay, the most money raised, the most money to buy the most players is going to have the best opportunity to win”
Whenever Saban would whine about a certain rule change or how up-tempo offenses were getting the upper hand on his defense, it usually sounded like a threat because he would quickly proceed to turn whatever was nagging at him into an advantage.
People throughout college football assumed that would again be the case when NIL and unfettered transfers became part of how everyone had to do business. But in reality, those rule changes did more to spread the talent around than it did to help Saban collect blue-chip recruits.
